XDJ 700 rekordbox + MacBook Pro

Hi guys,

I've got xdj700 + djm350 + MacBook Pro 13'. I would like to use rekordbox finally, cause I never used it before - I do play from usb. My question is: What is the best way to connect mac pro with xdj to use rekordbox? In my MacBook, I need to use adapter from usb c to usb, but in the manual I can see thats most of the hub/adapter are not recommended, but they recommend to connect xdj with MacBook directly to usb slot, but I can't do this cause in my MacBook there is only usb c unfortunately.

Any idea how to resolve the problem? Cause, I can't find nothing about connecting Mac Pro in the manual of rekordbox

I bought 2 Apple USB-C to USB adapters back when they were $9 and have been using them with my DJM-750, XDJ-1000s, Kontrol D2s and Audio 10 without problems. Their regular price of $19 is pretty steep though, so it's worth looking at alternatives.

I don't have any experience with USB-C to USB-B cables, but I do use the regular Chroma Cables and love them, so I'm sure the USB-C ones are great as well.

When using XDJ and CDJ's in HID, you lose some functionality and the load times on the actual units tend to be a little it slower. You will also experience browsing lag if you have an extensive library. You can, however, connect the units to your laptop via ethernet and use Link to browse your library.
